Project Lunar - Keefe Sencen {a KOTLC and Percy Jackson crossover}

21. The Kiss

My eyes flicker open. I can feel a bright light beaming on me. What afterlife am I in?

"She's up." Kalo says. I try to sit up but it hurts too bad.
"Careful." Elwin says helping me sit.

"How am I alive?" I ask.
"Keefe was extremely determined to get you here." Elwin says.
"Where is he?" I ask glancing around.
"He literally just left to help out." Kalo explains. I nod.

"Can I go see him?"
"Nope." Elwin says while looking through the vials.
"And why's that?"
"You're on bed rest."
"What?-"
"You're too weak right now. Now take these every time the timer beeps. I have to go but I'll be back later tonight." He says handing me a tray of vials.

He walks out. Kalo sits next to me.

"That was both the stupidest and smartest thing you've ever done." He says.
"We have her though, right?" I ask. He nods.
"She can't escape."
"Good." I say smiling.

The timer beeps.

I grab a vial and down it with some water. It's absolutely disgusting. I drink the rest of the water trying to get the taste out of my mouth.

"Where's Keefe?" I ask.
"Probably outside." He says.

I glance at the door. If I make a run for it, he'll stop me. I look around carefully. I see the empty water.
"Can you go get me some more water?" I ask.
"Water?"  He asks suspiciously.
"Yeah, I'd go but I'm on bed rest."
"Okay, sure." He says getting up. He stops by the door and looks at me. "Don't get any ideas."
"None." I nod. "No ideas in here." I say tapping my head.

He walks out. I wait a couple seconds before jumping up and throwing shoes on.

I run out the door. I get outside and run to where I see the group.

"B?" I hear Keefe call out. I don't stop running towards him. He starts running to me too.

We meet and I throw my arms around his neck pressing our lips together. His hands are around my waist.

I pull away to look at him.
"Hi." I smile.
"Hi." He says returning the smile.

He leans his forehead on mine and I laugh softly.
"I was so scared." He whispers.
"I heard."

He pulls away to look at me.
"How'd you even get out, I heard you were on bed rest?" He asks.
"I ran. I had to see you." I say. He smiles softly.

"Blair Cain!" I hear someoe yell. I turn and see Kalo running over.
"Shit." I mutter.
"I think they know you ran."
"Ya think?" I laugh.

"I'm going to kill you Blair!" Kalo yells.
"I don't think he's joking." Keefe says. I laugh.
"Gotta go." I say kissing his cheek before disappearing.

I get back to the bed and wait.

———— Keefe

I'm outside with the group planning what we're gonna do next. I don't want to be out here. I should be inside with her.

"Is that Blair?" Dex asks looking up. I turn and see her running.

"B?" I yell. She keeps running towards me. I start running to meet her.

She throws her arms over me as our lips meet. I'm convinced that this is happiness.

We pull away.
"Hi." She says smiling.
"Hi." I say.

I let my forehead fall on hers.
"I was so scared." I say.
"I heard."

I pull away from her to look at her. She's suposed to stay inside.
"How'd you even get out, I heard you were on bed rest?"
"I ran. I had to see you." She says. I feel myself smile.

"Blair Cain!" Someone yells. I glance up and it's Kalo.
"Shit."
"I think they know you ran."
"Ya think?" She laughs.

"I'm going to kill you Blair!" Kalo yells.
"I don't think he's joking." I say.
"Gotta go." She says kissing my cheek before disappearing.

Kalo finally gets over to me.

"Where'd she go?" Kalo asks.
"Where'd who go?" I ask playing dumb to give her more time.
"Blair."
"Don't know. Haven't seen her. Is she up?"
"Keefe, she was just here." He says losing his patience.
"No she wasn't?"
"Yes."
"Go back to her room, I'm sure she's laying in bed all cozy and bundled up." I say. He glares at me before turning around.
